Perth is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Elizabeth Quay. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Kings Park and Botanic Garden and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Rottnest Island day trip in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.
